Understanding the IRS Strategic Plan

Fiscal Year 2022-2026

 

Message from the Commissioner


Acting IRS Commissioner

I’m pleased to present the IRS Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2022-2026. In publishing this plan, we want to share our strategic priorities and how they shape the important work that takes place at the IRS, year in and year out, to help taxpayers. The goal is to provide a roadmap to help illustrate the many ways our employees will provide service to the nation for years to come.

Working for the IRS makes me extremely proud, and I’m excited about the future of our agency. My experiences as Commissioner have strengthened my belief that a fully functioning IRS is critical to the success of our nation. We serve and interact with more Americans than any other public or private organization. When citizens perform their civic duty each year by preparing and filing their taxes and paying only what they should, they help fund critical aspects of the country’s infrastructure, ranging from schools and roads to Social Security payments and the nation’s military.
